SNAP participation is 6.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 9.6% of adults, 8.2 points below the national rate. That places it #7 of 7 neighborhoods in Hamilton.
At 3% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Grand View and Main Street Historic District score within a fraction of it.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
